After installed the latest E10_nAa-06 the phone rebooted and the nAa screen appear, than disappear but noting.
The phone doesn't answer.
i can't turn off or turn on the phone.
i've tried with pc companion but a "plug the phone" message appear.

open the back cover
remove the rubber near camera and unplug the pin using pen and reconnect it and start flash tool and connect the phone pressing and holding back key

Hold power+home button, wait until screen goes black, then immediately press and hold back button, while plugging usb cabel into phone. Then do anything you want, your phone will be in restore mode.
Next time post your question in another section named "XPERIA X10 Mini Q&A"
hi
i have the same problem but i flashed the kernel via flashtools 0.3.5
If i press home and on/off the phone goes off but after few seconds it starts new.
I see the picture from the nAa Kernel and then i get a black screen.
The flashtool identificate the phone with the new kernel but i cant flash a other kernel.
sorry for my bad english
bye bye
use the update service from sony ericsson.
-start update service
-connect your hp using usb to the computer
-press and hold power + home till it restart
-flash back the stock 2.1 version
----> then continue again on the kernel update
Thanks for your help but I have the problem solved differently. My cell phone could not be connected to the Seus. I installed a rom by cwm.
For the people that have flashed a cwm capable kernel:
Just go to recovery menu via home, down on / off and volume
Hey, I know this is not correct place for Xperia X10 issue's, but i need to display it in general section, as this one is getting critical..
I uploaded a custom rom on my xperia x10, for that i unlockd the bootloader and stuff..
Now, my phone is switched off since 15 days, when ever i try to switch it on, it vibrates once and nothing at all afterwards...if i press power button again, it won't vibrate, unless and untill i remove the battery and reinsert it in phone..
i see three red flashes of light, when connected to PC..
1. PC Companion for update, repair and custom repair is not working...most of the time phone is not detected..
2. SE-update service is also not working and phone is shown as Xperia arc..
3. Flashtool, doesn't recognize the handset
4. few, technician told me box flash would work, but again, it didn't work out
Now, i don't know much about this, but i do understand that hardware seems to be good, till now, the only issue is software and that to initial boot process i.e. bootloader.
is there any other way i can upload a new custom rom on my xperia ??
or any other solution, will be appreciated..
I'm assuming download mode didn't work? Pull battery and insert cord/battery/press back button at same time while aytempting to flash through flashtools?
I have tried flash tools with this method, but doesn't helps..
I don't know about download mode, is it the same done through PC companion..
Thanks

I had the xact same problem and this worked for me..THANKS A LOT..i owe you one
Same issue
I have a similar issue.
When I try to flash it through flashtool, I get this error
"ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed""
Plus the phone is not also going in the recovery mode.
Please please help me.
When I turn on my Xperia Mini, I first see the sony logo and then I see the xperia logo and then the screen turns off. The phone automatically starts again with the sony logo, xperia logo and so on.
I have tried starting the phone in safe mode by holding down the volume key or by repeatedly pressing the menu button but both of them do not work. I have also tried to "repair" the phone via the PC Companion but it detects the phone only momentarily(as it switches on).
This problem started soon after I had switched on the bluetooth radio on my phone.
My phone is running on Android 4.0.4
This problem did occur in the past but I was able to open the safe mode then and a factory reset solved the problem at that time.No such luck now.
How can I hard reset the phone without reaching the menu??
Or is there any other way to solve this problem??
Please help.

Have you tried to install a custom rom or have you got any idea why this is happening?
Do you know how to flash with flashtool? If not look in my signature there is a rooting guide. In the rooting guide on how to root gingerbread 4.0.2.A.0.62/69 you can see how to flash with flashtool and after that, if you want, root it.
If your phone wasn't rooted and your bootloader is locked and you haven't installed any app which could cause this problem, bring phone to service, but only if this could be hardware related and you haven't modified anything
Oh my science! You've been here since 2009 and this is your first post!?!?
Don't worry Your kernel is clean the problem is with the Rom.
Just flash the stock firmware ftf for your phone using flashtool and it'll be brand new again!
This will be useful
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
There are numerous tutorials about flashing ftf through flashtool just google it (the above link will be also useful).
Flashtool can be used with locked bootloader . You can use it on a out of box phone right away.
hit thanks if I've helped!

I have experienced the same problem with my Xperia mini pro (SK17i). Just try to switch off Bluetooth before it restart. May be it will work on your device too.
Is it possible that bluetooth problem is an issue on android 4.0 ICS?

I too faced the same problem in my ST15i....Bluetooth works fine for a few times and after that suddenly it creates bootloop. When for the first time i went to the service center he told me that the ICS release is having a bug and it is not completely compatible.
I have also tried many custom roms with my bootloader locked. But the problem is same.
I feel that the problem is with the stock kernel and stock ICS rom compatibility.
Devs, please look into this and please develop a perfect solution. :good::fingers-crossed:
phone not starting up
i also have this rebooting problem b4 that time i just unlocked my bootloader by test point method the mobile functioned properly
but again the same problem exists this time i tried relocking bootloader by test point method and tried to flash it.Also i tried using s1 tools also after that my mobile is not even switching on 1 vibration is coming and no other further action
I heard that this is the best forum for flashing and rooting android

I also had Xperia Mini which gave me blue tooth problem.
1) Take out ur phone battery & connect ur phone with charger & switch the phone on.
2) Leave ur phone for about 10 mins and then while restarting put ur battery in the phone.
3)Take out the charger while restarting & ur startup will be more longer.
4) Then quickly go to setting &switch off the blue tooth.
5) Ur phone will restart again but this time ur phone will be working.
NOTE
In this process take out ur Sim Card & SD Card fron ur phone.

xperia mini ICS latest firmware---http://www.4shared.com/rar/29kaVZ1E/Xperia_Mini_ST15i_41B0587.html
Hi,
i have a problem with my xperia neo.
I have locked bootloader, stock ICS rom, no root.
My phone don't boot up.
I tried to restore the phone with SEUS, but nothing changed (the phone can enter in flashboot (back button while connecting to pc)).
I Don't know what to do now. Is there any possibility to unlock the bootloader without powering on the phone?
Thanks

Hey!
'Maybe' something happened to your screen.
Try giving it for repair.
or you can try flashing the ".ftf" file for your mobile.
You can also give it a whack. it worked many times when my speaker stopped working..
please hit ' thanks' if i helped you!
I tried to flash ".ftf" stock ICS, but nothing changed.
I tried to flash stock kernel and ICS. Same result.
The strange thing is that the phone vibrates, when turned on. If I press the power button againe, after few seconds and keep it pushed, the phone vibrates again.
It seems that the phone try to power on, but after 2 or 3 seconds it shuts down again. I tried to change battery, same result.
Does xperia phone have a recovery?
I've read that i can unlock bootloader with Test pins. Then i can try to install a modified recovery (is it possible to install cwm without powering on the phone? only flashmode?). It works with every xperia neo?
I've realized I can enter in flashmode (with back button while connecting to PC) but not in Fastboot mode (menu button).
I'm SIM unlocked.
Yea..u can use testpoint to unlock bootloader...ur supposed to do it without battery..coz u need to ground it via negative pins..
But be very careful while doing so...read evrythin before u start...
Once unlocked..flash a kernel..then Rom..
If u dont wanna take the risk...goto the service centre...
Nd did flashtool show any error??
Did it! Thank you mate!
Unlocked bootloader with testpins, flashed cwm and new rom.
Thanks again.
Hi everyone,
i bought a second hand Xperia Pro which came wih Lupus Kernel and Ultimate HD rom. Now I wanted to try the stock firmware for comparison but i can't flash it.
I've followed several guides and searched on the forum with no luck. what i've done is basically
- installed flashtool, latest version
- downloaded the stock firmware and put the .tft in the firmware folder
- open the driver installer from the driver folder in flashtool and selecting fastboot, flashmode and xperia pro drivers to install
- click on the flash icon, select the correct firmware, click flash
- when the window with the animation asks for it i press and hold the volume down button and attach the usb cable. I keep pressing the button and the lupus logo appears, then nothing happen and the window with the usb cable animation goes on
i've tried several times and also on different computers... and... to get thing worse, i've just bricked my xperia :s after several attempts, a menu apeared on the display (i have no idea why, i must have done something different from the previous attempts) i think it was called lupus cwm. One of the options was about wiping the phone... i've tried with that one, then he asked me "Root access is missing. Root Device? This cannot be undone" and I choosed yes... not very wise to choose yes or no when you don't know what you are talking aobut, i know
So basically if i try to turn the phone freezes on the lupus logo and i have to pull the battery out. And, no need to say it, nothing has changed when it comes to trying to flash it with flashtool
any help will be much appreciated, i really don't know what else i could try now...

You did all the steps to flash the stock firmware ftf like it should be done! Please try to take off the battery, wait a few seconds, reinsert it and press and hold volume down while connecting the usb. A green led should light up and it should start flashing

thanks for your help. I've tried removing the battery but it's just the same. A blue led, not green, turns on for a couple of seconds on my xperia pro... i've recorded a short video so you can check that i'm doing everything properly...
OUCH i can't insert links :s youtube .com/ watch?v=_hIZMn9HrlA
so you think it's not a problem if i have bricked the phone wiping off the firmware? the flashing procedure should work the same?
MUAHHAHA got it!!! my phone is finally flashed! i was just pressing the wrong button :s even if all the guides specific for xperia pro were saying to pross the volume down button, i had to press the BACK button! and the led did turn on green indeed, as you were saying
just another question: what happened when that CWM menu asked me "Root access is missing. Root Device? This cannot be undone" and I choosed yes? does that mean i rooted the phone? and is it stil rooted or it's been overwritten by the original firmware i have just flashed?
thanks

I'm sorry, I forgot the thing about the back button instead of volume down, too
If you have an unlocked bootloader, your phone normally should automatically be rooted when you flash a custom kernel as (nearly) all kernels for our devices include this feature. But as you have flashed the stock firmware now, all was overwritten and you have to flash another custom kernel to get cwm back
ok, thanks a lot
